Feel free to DM me for more details but here’s an overview:

Work life balance is definitely better. You only work on one client so no time lost switching btw clients and no urgent deadlines as most deadlines are predictable well in advance.

I still work a lot sometimes (on avg ~7-80% compared to ey) but definitely love the no urgent deadlines. At ey there were so many huddles for work to go from staff up to partner then back down sometimes... and no time wasted on admin stuff (i still hv to do some company ethics and cyber security training 2x a year but no timesheets and no engagement economics nonsense) i love it

This represents most industry companies compared to public accounting rather than tech focused like op asked. Do you have any big tech focused views rather than general industry?

Anyone knows the chances of location being changed after receiving the offer and getting tagged to a project?

I have not yet accepted the offer.
